Rates of Return: Single Period Example Ending Price = 24 Beginning Price = 20 Dividend = 1 HPR = ( 24 - 20 + 1 )/ ( 20) = 25%
Example 43 You purchased a share of stock for $20. One year later you received $2 as dividend and sold the share for $23. Your holding-period return was __________. A) 5 percent B) 10 percent C) 20 percent D) 25 percent The holding period return on a stock was 25%. Its ending price was $18 and its beginning price was $16. Its cash dividend must have been __________. A) $0.25 B) $1.00 C) $2.00 D) $4.00
Returns Using Arithmetic and Geometric Averaging Arithmetic ra = (r1 + r2 + r3 + ... rn) / n ra =.10 or 10% Geometric rg = {[(1+r1) (1+r2) .... (1+rn)]} 1/n - 1 rg = .0829 = 8.29%
Example 12 The arithmetic average of 12%, 15% and 20% is _________. A) 15.7% B) 15% C) 17.2% D) 20% The geometric average of 10%, 20% and 25% is __________. A) 15% B) 18.2% C) 18.3% D) 23%
Quoting Conventions APR = annual percentage rate (periods in year) X (rate for period) EAR = effective annual rate ( 1+ rate for period)Periods per yr - 1 Example: monthly return of 1% APR = EAR =
Characteristics of Probability Distributions 1) Mean: most likely value 2) Variance or standard deviation 3) Skewness * If a distribution is approximately normal, the distribution is described by characteristics 1 and 2
1 - 8 Return Variability: The Second Lesson
Example What range of return would you expect to see in 95% of time? Is it possible you can earn 65% return annually at 1% significant level?
S E ( r ) = p ( s ) r ( s ) s Measuring Mean: Scenario or Subjective Returns Subjective expected returns p(s) = probability of a state r(s) = return if a state occurs 1 to s states
Numerical Example: Subjective or Scenario Distributions StateProb. of State rin State 1 .1 -.05 2 .2 .05 3 .4 .15 4 .2 .25 5 .1 .35 E(r) =.15
S 2 Variance = p ( s ) [ r - E ( r )] s s Measuring Variance or Dispersion of Returns Subjective or Scenario Standard deviation = [variance]1/2 Using Our Example: Var=.01199 S.D.= [ .01199] 1/2 = .1095
Risk Premiums and Risk Aversion Degree to which investors are willing to commit funds Risk aversion If T-Bill denotes the risk-free rate, rf, and variance, , denotes volatility of returns then: The risk premium of a portfolio is: E(Rp) - Rf
Risk Premiums and Risk Aversion To quantify the degree of risk aversion with parameter A: E(Rp) – Rf = (1/2) A σp2
The Sharpe (Reward-to-Volatility) Measure Sharpe ratio = Portfolio risk premium/standard deviation of the excess returns = (E(Rp) – Rf)/σp

Real vs. Nominal Rates Fisher effect: Approximation nominal rate = real rate + inflation premium R = r + i or r = R - i Example r = 3%, i = 6% R = 9% = 3% + 6% or 3% = 9% - 6% Fisher effect: Exact r = (1+R) / (1 + i) - 1 2.83% = (9%-6%) / (1.06)
Allocating Capital Between Risky & Risk-Free Assets Possible to split investment funds between safe and risky assets Risk free asset: proxy; T-bills Risky asset: stock (or a portfolio) Risk premium: risk asset return-risk-free rate Issues Examine risk/ return tradeoff Demonstrate how different degrees of risk aversion will affect allocations between risky and risk free assets
rf = 7% srf= 0% E(rp) = 15% sp = 22% y = % in p (1-y) = % in rf Example:Given:
E(rc) = yE(rp) + (1 - y)rf rc = complete or combined portfolio For example, y = .75 E(rc) = .75(.15) + .25(.07) = .13 or 13% Expected Returns for Combinations

If y = .75, then = .75(.22) = .165 or 16.5% c If y = 1 = 1(.22) = .22 or 22% c If y = 0 = 0(.22) = .00 or 0% c Combinations Without Leverage s s s

Risk Aversion and Allocation Greater levels of risk aversion lead to larger proportions of the risk free rate Lower levels of risk aversion lead to larger proportions of the portfolio of risky assets Willingness to accept high levels of risk for high levels of returns would result in leveraged combinations
Example 22 Consider the following two investment alternatives. First, a risky portfolio that pays 15% rate of return with a probability of 60% or 5% with a probability of 40%. Second, a treasury bill that pays 6%. The risk premium on the risky investment is __________. A) 1% B) 5% C) 9% D) 11% Consider the following two investment alternatives.
